Fourth of July Camping Trip

Jenna and I decided to take the boys camping over the holiday weekend. Jacob camped with us last summer, but this was Jackson's first time. We headed up the mountain to Estes Park and camped in RMNP. We got a little rain, had a lot of sun, and enjoyed being up in the mountains.



While Jenna worked on making some dinner...



Jacob was off exploring. We couldn't let him out of our site for one minute.



Our awesome 6-man Dicks sporting goods special...



A lot of pacing around the campfire with Jackson. The beer always tasted better after a long day with the boys.



Jenna and I took the new 4runner up Old Fall River Road in RMNP.



It was a pretty easy drive....



but it was nice to get off the beatin path. Jenna and I think it's a more scenic drive than Trail Ridge Road.




Jenna and I at the top of Trail Ridge Road near the visitors center. There's still alot of snow up here above tree line one month into the summer.



Jenna loves the mountains so much she just has to jump...:)



Back at the camp ground Jenna and I relaxed around the camp fire...



It got pretty cold at night, so the fire kept us nice and warm.



This is what happens when you let Jacob play with the flashlight around the campfire...



This is what happens when you let Jacob play around water puddles...



Jacob and I the last night of the trip. It was a great weekend.
